Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.

A micropackage (formerly simple-package-meta) which offers easy access to information about the running package.
A micropackage (formerly
simple-package-meta
) which offers easy access to information about the running package.
A simple sort of convenience, sort of learning ECMAscript module package which takes a URL or an object like from import.meta
and returns an object with information about the file like its name, version, directories and the nearest package.json
.
Using pnpm:
pnpm add --save cno-package-meta
It can, of course, also be installed by NPM or Yarn using the normal methods.
import getPackageMeta from 'cno-package-meta'; //The default is just the getPackageMeta function
import * as PackageMetaNS from 'cno-package-meta'; //The whole namespace
var meta_info = getPackageMeta( import.meta ); //Same as PackageMetaNS.getPackageMeta
The package comprises a single constructor and two functions.
new PackageMeta( object ); //Can take either a URL string, a URL object or an `import.meta`-like object
This creates a new PackageMeta object albeit lacking some information which requires blocking operations; this is made available by importing the entire module namespace with the name PackageMetaNS.PackageMeta()
and is intended mainly just for debugging or extending the object as generally you're better off using one of the following helper functions.
getPackageMeta( object )
The default export, this asynchronously returns a complete PackageMeta object of the structure:
{
name: '',
version: '',
packageJSON: {},
url: '',
filename: '',
dirname: '',
paths: {
packageDirectory: '',
data: '',
config: '',
cache: '',
log: '',
temp: ''
}
}
PackageMetaNS.getPackageMetaSync( object )
Same as above except synchronous.
Changes are tracked in CHANGELOG.md.
